The First Bondage Layer (SHINJU & SAKURANBO)

Every Japanese bondage starts with a basis. Call it the bondage-lingerie if you like. Now you already need to know what you are working towards. If you want to go to suspension, your basis should be a suspension harness. Here we start with bondages based on windings, aiming at some support and first of all erotic effects. The bondages below are described in the POWERotics public section as well.

The primary non-suspension bondage lingerie for a submissive woman consists of two parts: SHINJU (the Japanese word for pearls) and SAKURANBO (cherry). SHINJU is used for the breasts, SAKURANBO for the crotch. Together they form a bra and slip in ropes.

SHINJU: Take a four yard 8 MM rope and wind it evenly around the torso, just under the breasts. The rope should touch the breasts. Don’t overdo the tightness but work towards an even tension in every winding. Tie the ends together on the back. The knot should be just next to (not on) the spine.


Now you take a second rope and wind it around the torso above the breasts in exactly the same way as the first one. Take care that the bondage is supposed to support the breasts but not deform them.

Now you pick your third 4 yard line, double it up, slip it halfway under your lower windings, cross over, make a nice “V” along the neck and tie the ends together on the back, under your lower windings. This rope should pull up your lower windings slightly, so the whole thing supports the breasts. Check the erotic pressure point lay outs (soon availaible) to see what erotic zones you are stimulating now.

SHINJU works in four ways:

♥ The rope, like a bra, supports the breasts. This support feels comfortable;
♥Breasts and nipples (these nipples gave this bondage its name) become more sensitive to touching;
♥It gives a feeling of being “packed together, which is comforting, feels safe and supports the feeling of submission

The ropes between and under the breasts and the knots against the spine work up the erotic massage. This is relaxing as well as exciting.

SAKURANBO: Next you start making your “rope slip”. Double up another 4 yard rope, wind it around the waist once, pull the ends through and lead the ends carefully between the legs, in between the labia. Go up again between the bottom and tie the ends next to the spine to the winding around the waist. Again, there no extreme tightness needed here, just tension.

You can create some extra erotic sensation here by making one or two extra knots in the rope that will touch the clitoris and/or the anus. Next take another three yard line and wind it around the top of the upper leg, just under the bottom. Make sure you leave one end of about ten to twelve inches and tie both ends together. The knots should be just on the outside, pressing against the bottom. You do the same thing around the other leg as well.

Now you take the long ends, lead them crossover over the bottom to the spine and tie them to you waist-winding. These two ends and the knots against the under side of the bottom form the cherry, that gave this bondage its name.

This one works two ways:

♥erotic massage, directly to the primary erogenous zone as well as the bottom and the lower spine (check the diagrams);
♥safety and comfort.

Juicy Detail: You can wear these bondages under your normal clothing easily and for a longer period of time. Try and go shopping, have a nice dinner or go to the movies this way. The bondage will do its job, slowly but surely and it is a wonderful promise of things to come as well. Instead of using knots you might also try and use one or two small dildos.
